Changes a Busy Woman Can Do to Fall Asleep Faster at Night

If you’re always tossing and turning at night, you may need a few tweaks in your routine and slight changes in your lifestyle. Try these tips to help you get quality rest.

1. Have a routine.

Routines can trigger behaviors. When done often, a nightly routine can be the signal of your body preparing you to sleep. It can be taking a warm shower, reading a book, or even having a relaxing beauty regimen. Once you hit the sack, remember not to bring anything to the bed that can distract you or keep you awake, especially your mobile phone.

If you’re having trouble sleeping, you may need to monitor and find out the correct number of hours your body needs. Personally, I ditched waking up with an alarm clock just to observe my natural waking schedule. I learned that I needed seven hours to get full rest (if hard-pressed, five, and I should never wake up with six hours of sleep because I’d feel fatigued). My body would automatically wake up after that, and that’s what I adjusted to.

There are many ways for you to monitor your sleeping habits. You can have sleep journal, or use an app to track your cycle.

4. Make your room conducive to sleep.

Clutter can actually keep you tossing and turning at night. A feature on Today notes that sleeping in a messy flat can keep you up and give you bad, disrupted sleep. Moreover, it also makes you at risk of developing a hoarding disorder. Always make sure that your room is clean and inviting enough to rest. Only leave covers and neck and back supporting pillows on your mattress, and remove everything else that’s unnecessary, such as books, laundry, food, and other items.
